    This model looks exactly like the one I have with usb, minus the actual port of course. Its too bad, the usb is what makes the player so nice.

    I only used mine as a DVD player now.
    hardly touch the DivX features since I had my HTPC setup
    the upconverting features are still pretty sweet.

    Jerry, you're right you can't add resolution, but you can make the picture look nicer on some sets. The kicker is, a lot of HDTV's will upconvert internaly, making the feature in the DVD player reduntant.

    Knowing the quality of my older non-upconverting DivX Philips player, I would expect the scaler in any TV to exceed the one in this player. The true beauty of letting your TV scale is that you know the image will only being scaled once to the correct resolution. Most HDTVs in people's homes are 768 lines, and most scalers go to 720 or 1080, neither of which are native to the tv and will require final scaling by the TV anyway. Do yourself a favor and stick with no scaling in a cheapo player and let the TV you paid hundreds or thousands of dollars for do the hard work.
